vendor should win.
vendor functions should be in a vendor's namespace (or common, vendor
shared like exslt). So users should not be defining functions in the
vendor's namespace with different functionality. To do so is against the
entire spirit of the namespace mechanism. However it is reasonable to
"fake" the vendors function with a user defined function so the
stylesheet is portable to other vendors, but for this to work the
"real" vendor supplied function should run when the stylesheet runs on
that system.
